Brighton v Chelsea LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates as Blues make horror start after Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro miss out

19 mins: CHANCE! It should be 2-0! What is Sanchez doing?! He passes straight to a Brighton player and Hinshelwood squares to Rutter, but he can’t finish! It’s off the line!

16 mins: CHANCE! Delap loses the ball far too easily and Brighton can counter-attack. It ends up with Rutter firing over from inside the box. The traveling Chelsea fans cannot believe what they are seeing.

14 mins: SAVE! Sanchez has to tip over from Van Hecke! Chelsea are all over the place in defence and midfield – Brighton sliced right through them with ease. Sanchez has kept them in it.

13 mins: Whistles as Chalobah passes the ball straight out of play. Rosenior shouts some encouragement but Brighton are finding this very easy early on.

11 mins: Brighton are pinging the ball around quite comfortably, with the home fans even starting to cheer the odd pass around the back. Delap is frustrated by the offside flag and there are some boos for the returning Cucurella.

7 mins: Brighton have made a very sharp start and have carried their excellent form into this meeting with Chelsea, who are in serious danger of losing five in a row now. Palmer and Pedro are looking very glum sitting high up in the stands.

BRIGHTON STRIKE FROM THE CORNER AND CHELSEA ARE BEHIND INSIDE THREE MINUTES!

The corner from the left is not cleared by Chelsea and the front-post flick-on falls to Kadioglu, who thrashes in!

Fofana tries to clear off the line but could not block the shot as it beat Sanchez. As it stands, Brighton are going above Chelsea.

3 mins: SAVE! Almost a copy of Mitoma’s fabulous goal against Spurs on Saturday. Gross swings the ball towards the back post and picks out Mitoma, who was all on his own. The winger’s shot is down and into the ground but Sanchez saves!

1 mins: Even without Pedro, Chelsea have three former Brighton players in Sanchez, Cucurella and Sanchez. Rosenior is playing a back-three/five in the Premier League for the first time.

No Palmer, no Pedro… no goals and no points in Chelsea’s last four. Can they end that run against an in-form Brighton side? We’re underway.
